Splitboard skins

Our splitboard skins are proven on skin tracks around the world. From deep winter tours to long spring missions, they deliver the grip and glide riders rely on in changing snowpacks and temperatures. Developed with feedback from experienced backcountry riders, Jones skins are built for efficient climbing and reliable performance in unpredictable mountain conditions.

How to choose the right splitboard skins

We offer two performance levels across the full line of skins. The standard version provides an ideal balance of grip and glide, while the PRO version includes Glide Tech for enhanced glide on long approaches.

We also offer three types of splitboard skins depending on your board and how you want to set them up.

Advanced materials for grip and glide

Jones skins are made in Switzerland with a blend of 70% mohair and 30% synthetic fiber for a balanced mix of glide and grip. A laminated rubber backing prevents water absorption and an Ever Dry treatment reduces glopping in warm or variable snow.
